Notes

Sokhretia solitaria is a Czech Ordovician Acastid trilobite, This undescribed Moroccan species is very similar and might be the same species, but in any case is likely to be in the same genus.

Specimen A is the leftmost trilobite one the plate, specimen B is the large trilobite immediately to its right, and specimen C is the small trilobite on the right raised above all the other trilobites.

Most of the trilobites have at least some of the lenses of the eyes preserved. The best preserved eye is the left eye of specimen B, whereas the left eye of specimen C has better than average but more typical preservation.
